Identity Theft is an award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson?s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson focuses on the less frequently documented emotional journey in recovery. Virtually every survivor is haunted by questions like: ?Who am I now?? and ?How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?? after losing so much of what they had before?capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. This is a book full of hope for survivors?from stroke or other injuries?as well as their families and support networks.Debra Meyerson and her husband, Steve Zuckerman, have created?STROKE FORWARD (www.strokefwd.org),?a nonprofit initiative of the Social Good Fund, to support stroke and other survivors with the emotional aspects of recovery and advocate for a more human-centered approach to health care.?Winner of the 2019 Silver Nautilus Book Award. Identity Theft centers on Debra?s experience: her stroke, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she has met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlights how every person is different, every stroke is different, and every recovery is different. She provides a valuable look at the broad possibilities for successfully navigating the challenging physical recovery?and the equally difficult emotional journey toward rebuilding one?s identity and a rewarding life after a trauma like stroke.?
